 | Sunday, June 28th, 1998: 5 Hits for Ninja Huggins
It was a sensational day at the plate for Ed Huggins as he led the charge to a 17-10 win over the Loggers.
The Indiana left fielder was pure misery for the Seattle pitching staff. He left them shellshocked with 5 hits in 5 at-bats in an explosive display of hitting.
The manager for the Loggers told BNN reporters after the game, "Huggins put the ball into play. He really hit it hard. When you do that, you've got a pretty good chance to do some damage. And that's what happened. I feel like we threw some pretty good pitches, but he just put some good swings on the ball."
E. Huggins singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 5th, walked in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off M. Jenkins in the 8th.
To date, Huggins has collected 84 hits for a .303 average. He has posted 4 home runs, scored 46 runs and driven in 35 runs. |
